Essex Industrial Archaeology Group - Terms of Reference

The Essex Industrial Archaeology Group (EIAG) was launched in July 2013 as a sub-group of the Essex Society for Archaeology and History (ESAH) and was established to provide a way forward for industrial archaeology in Essex.

Aims of EIAG

Research and record industries in Essex and their sites, in order to assist research by others and to help the general public to understand and appreciate Essex's industrial past.

Publish reports on the work of the Group in ESAH's Transactions and Newsletters, other relevant journals, such as Essex Journal, and its own special series of publications.
